Elephant Park Energy Hub

Lendlease has won planning permission to build an 鈥淓nergy Hub鈥 鈥 a combined heat and power plant 鈥 at its mammoth redevelopment of Elephant and Castle, south London.

Designed by Duggan Morris Architects and Gillespie鈥檚 Landscape Architects, the hub is the latest development in Lendlease鈥檚 拢3bn Elephant Park regeneration scheme, and will provide net zero carbon heat and hot water to residents and businesses across the area.

The new building will also provide other facilities including a nursery, a community cafe and a 鈥減ocket park鈥 鈥 a playground with 鈥渆nergy-themed facilities鈥 for local children.

Lendlease has also announced a new partnership with E.ON as the long-term energy provider across the regeneration project, with the energy provider supplying the homes and business in the area with the net zero carbon heat and hot water.
